+++++Rocks Beneath Your Feet ---Geology Walk
Sunday October 3rd at 2:30 PM Meet at the Large Pavilion
Take a stroll with geologist Jeri Jones of Spring Grove, PA as he explores the rocks, minerals and fossils in Sweet Arrow County Park. The leisurely walk will visit several of the key areas to explore various aspects of geology. Stand on an ancient ocean bed, see where the Earth's crust smashed together and learn just how much of the surface has been weathered and eroded away. A touch of stream erosion and the geologic history will be included along on the walk.
Jeri will take you back 350 million years (give or take) and show you the evidence that makes geologists believe that Sweet Arrow Lake County Park was once an ancient tropical sea. He will explain why the Falls are located where they are and will show you the “secret” Sweet Arrow fossil pit.
This program is free and open to the public and will be of interest to youth and adults. No registration is required.
